Write a cover letter in 300 words

· 4 min read · By JobsStudio team

A short structure that hiring managers actually read.

Hiring managers skim. A cover letter of about 300 words, specific to the role, gets read; a generic page doesn't.

Opening: why this role

One or two sentences that name the role and one specific reason you want it: the product, the team, a problem they're solving.

Middle: two proofs

Two short paragraphs, each linking one of the posting's main needs to something real you've done. Include the result where you can.

Close: the next step

One line saying you'd welcome a conversation. Skip the clichés and the long sign-off.

JobsStudio's cover letter prompt follows this structure and tells the assistant to leave out anything your resume doesn't support.
